This year we are having our 35 year, and it is $60.00 per person. We do not do semi-formal anymore, we did at our first one at 10 years. Now we're very casual and have way more fun.<BR/><BR/>I know that seems like a lot, but you have to take into consideration that it takes it to rent a venue, buy the food or Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17158039311916041641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378398538238623524.post-62458359006909042972009-03-23T14:21:00.000-05:002009-03-23T14:21:00.000-05:00I think its completely up to the person.

Plus it was expensive too! I don't regret it and thanks to Facebook anyone I would want to contact I have done on there. If I were you, I would do the 'free' night before, sounds like a more relaxed environment, and then you won't feel guilty leaving after spending a whole bunch of money if there is no one there you know!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872717855898604617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378398538238623524.post-6443542423433396212009-03-23T13:13:00.000-05:002009-03-23T13:13:00.000-05:00I think my 10 year one was lots of fun simply beca...I think my 10 year one was lots of fun simply because it had only been ten years! You still recognized people and remembered tons of fun things that you'd done together. As you get older, and the memories fade, you don't have quite as much to talk about.

The people that I would like to see, I usually talk to and at $65 a person...that's just a lot of money. Maybe they didn't do enough fund raising. I say go on a nice date and call a few close HS friends to go out.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985457347225776111noreply@blogger.com
